April 1992, I think.  That was the earliest Google found...  I think it
was SLS from about 15 1200k 5.25" floppies downloaded over a 1200 baud
modem...   Linux 0.13 kernel

5 months later I used it to train an artificial neural network to do
speech recognition for my 4th year project for my undergrad.  That
process ran at 99.5% CPU usage for two solid weeks to train the neural
net on a 486DX-33.  Worked like a champ.  Multitasked beautifully even
then, way better than win98 or mac os-9 didn't years later...

I even had X working then...
